I went over to a friends not planning on drinking, but we had a few drinks. I didn't drink that much. I had a blast tonight, o laughed and danced and felt anxuety free. Now that I am home with out my friend trying to sleep for the night, I feel like my throat us closing, it is hard to swallow and i feel like I am choking or can't breathe. I sm afraid my medicine(fluoxtine) and the alcohol are making me overdose. Does this sound like anxiety or serious? I have pills to take as needed for high anxuety but you're mit supposed to take it with Alchol. It's slmost 3 am where I am.... I want sleep but like I said my throat feels like its reaally closing. Ami okay???

    I'm not on these meds but it sounds like ur throat feels like it's closing due to the anxiety as I get this and it's awful esp late at night when u may be on ur own and symptoms tend to feel worse

    Try slow deep breathing and telling yourself your okay and sip some water

    Hope that helps, you will be okay but the feeling is horrendous x

      Thank you, I was actually able to get to sleep fairly quickly for me. I want to take a pill now but I'm afraid the alchol hadn't left my system. I don't know how long it takes to digest. I wanna take a pill because I sent my boyfriend alchol fueled texts accusing him of cheating and now I'm anxious and scared to read his reply.

      I was actually able to fall asleep faster than usual( weird). Thanks for the reply, I woke up feeling pretty good except my eyes are really dry and I'm kinda anxious because I sent my boyfriend alchol fueled texts accusing him of being with another girl. He replied but the can't even force myself to read it.

      It's kind of a new relationship so I'm worried that he will be less tolerant than a boyfriend who has been with me for awhile. I still can't read the text and it's almost noon here. I think I'll take your advice and read the text. I'm just so worried he is like cutting me off becaus I also sent snapchat videos accusing him of "laying with another girl" my anxiety brain creates horrible situations. This is the first time he has seen me be the super jealous girlfriend... Okay well going to read it now. Will let you know how it goes

      So I read the message and at first it was sweet... Then I replied "sorry I'm the biggest a**hole in the world" and he replied "I need time to think about last night between the texts and the snaps im a little over whelmed" I think he is done with me and he made me want to change and get rid of my anxiety and he in general made me better and now I think my crazy ass pushed him away and scared him off 😭😭😭💔💔💔 and now I'm just crying. Wow I hateeeee alchol and thinking the worst possible situation. All he did was fall asleep and u thought he was with a girl.

      Dear Whitney... please. Do not give up, just explain to him calmly that it was completely out of character.. it only happened because you had a drink, and it will never ever happen again...

      Ask if he is willing to give you another chance, as you are really. Very sorry about what happened.....

      Try not to worry too much, I am sure that he will calm down and

      Realize how much he cares for you.... big hugs to you xxx. If it is meant to be, it will happen...xx I truly wish you a beautiful and loving romance.. hugs to you both, Deirdre xxx
